Speakers tend to use the integrated form more often for native verbs when using hashtags (\(\beta \) =0.099) and less often for both loanwords and native verbs when using @-mentions (\(\beta \) =-0.087 loanwords, \(\beta \) =-0.050 native verbs).
Prior work demonstrated a similar effect with nonstandard English words on Twitter [1]} and found that hashtags and @-mentions correlated with larger and smaller audience expectations.
Since formal language is often expected with a larger audience [2]}, Spanish speakers may naturally choose the integrated verb forms to adapt to a larger potential audience.
For post length, we find that longer posts tend to have integrated verbs more often for loanwords (\(\beta \) =0.051) and less often for native verbs (\(\beta \) =-0.046).
This effect may be related to post content (e.g. including direct objects for loanword verbs) but it may also reflect inherent differences in the perceptions of loanwords and native verbs.
